Hi Everyone, I'm new here and not a "car guy" when it comes to under the hood. Two days ago I accelerated from a stop light and suddenly my '08 Xterra (78k miles, 1yr old timing chain, reg. oil change, tran. fluid good) began to sputter, vibrate/shake drastically, and knocking sound from under hood on passenger side. I've included a video of the issue after I got it towed home.

Can anyone help identify if they've had this issue?

P.S. the rapid clicking noise in video is a separate issue with A/C.

It sounds like a rod in the block!

Pull the codes from the computer (you can pick up a basic scanner from Wal Mart for $20, it's worth having it around). That may help narrowing it down.
